Bottle.Orange colour. Nice wheaty and malty smell, with hints of bananas. The tast is malty, spicy and lots of citrus and bananas. Has a wheaty aftertaste. Tastes more like a normal weissbier than a dunkel one.

A hazy orange beer with a collapsing white head. The aroma is sweet and dominated by wheat, while the flavor is sweet with notes of caramel as well as wheat, but the body is thin.

Banana and citrus aroma, bready notes. Cloudy orange, ok head. Banana, spice, citrus tastenotes. Not quite as much power in the taste as I would like. Fizzing mouthfeel. Grain aftertaste.

Rererated , fresh from tap, fresh grassy again, good balance quaffable. Re-rate: Sulphur-sweet aroma, golden, collapsing head. Sugary malt bas, balanced towards the maty side. Medium to light body. Quick finish. Old Rating: 7 3 6 3 11 Nice bitter whiff of hops in the nose. Pale golden, lowish carbonation, low but stable head. Malt in the front of the mouth, bitterhops in the back, but nothing in the middle - balance is not bad but lacks substance. Relatively lightbodied, hay aftertaste.

Aroma tilts to the malty, also a bit aromahop. Greenish golden, rough unstable head. Dry, somewhat anonymous. Medium to light bodied. Oregano aftertaste.

Some citric and sour notes in the aroma together with clove. Cloudy yellow, ok but not too stable head. Oranges, bananas and spices, but I am not getting nearly as much clove from the taste as Joris. Fullbodied. Whitebread aftertaste, a bit cloying.

Dark orange, slight cold haze. Thick head, white with yellowish shade, collapsing. Nose: caramel, indeed. very malty, wheat, citrussy, fruity. Strange - tastes like some oriental herbs I once had. Wheaty, no mistaking that. Caramel from the nose totally absent in the taste, still some citrus. Medium-bodied, less creamy than the Helles. refreshing. Empty aftertaste. Much better than the Helles - but surprisingly pale and off-type for a Dunkel Weizen. But not bad.

(full name: Meckatzer Weizen Allgäuer Hefeweizen) Extraordinarily huge head, not very stable however. Greenish-yellow beer. Nose gives wheat, banana, cilandro-touch and some cloves. Taste gives wheat again, allspice/cloves - flavour. The wheat has virtually no acidity, and retronasal, the cloves get even stronger, like chewing on a clove or an allspice kernel. Warming up, a stale bread-taste appears. Creamy-yeasty, fullish wheat sensation, with a clove-bitterish, not yet adstringent aftertaste. It is not a bad Weizen, but the clove-one-dimension makes it balance precariously on the edge of being a caricature of the style itself.

Never mind the commercial brawn. More important is this: Weiss-Gold is NOT a wheatbeer (Weissbier). "Weiss" here is the familyname of the brewer! This is a bottom-fermented beer, and a very old one, at that, launched in 1905 and revamped in 1950. Clear pale-golden, white head, quickly reduced to white rim. Nose is very grainy, green lunaria aroma as well as white wine-like aroma. Quite dry - herbal and grassy hopstaste (maybe not surprising from an area, cultivating more wine than brewing beer). Malt is there retronasal, where it provides for a mild-sweetish underbuild for the delicate hopflavours. It is brewed with fully local ingredients, so if I say Tettnang, I'm not guessing anymore. Better bodied than average pilseners. Nice pilsener. Though why it ought to be a class of its own?

Very pale gold, thick white head, champenoise bubbling. Nose yields grain, pale malt, grape-like smell, herbal. Dry taste, spicy(nutmeg?)-herbal-grassy flavours, Germans hops, discreet. Very dry mouthfeel, light bodied, champenoise carbonation, not much aftertaste. A really good Pilsener - in what is difficult to pinpoint, but it beats score of its competitors in an offhanded way.
